I'm not going to root just yet. I'll wait and see what becomes of the B&N app store early next year. Plus there's the expected update to 2.2 during the same time frame.

I'm seeking more functionality as an ereader. A note taking app would be nice as well. I can get a lot done on my phone so my expectations are minimal. The device is fulfilling as it is.

I am keeping my eye on the Galaxy Tab in hopes of a WiFi-only version sometime next year and a price drop.

Meh if you compare tab to NC; youre only getting a bit more speed and the camera (im sure everyone has this on there phones) once you have the NC rootedl; theres no reason for tab ESPECIALLY since youre not interested in the 3g features.

I wish there was some sort of edu on what rooting is and how it effects the original device, pro/con list would be great. Other than being able to put software on it that is not currently available from B&N I don't understand that rooting is. What original functionality do you lose etc.

You cannot use it mounted unfortunately, but you can install the apps via a file manager (astro). and the menu button i havent run into a problem yet. can you suggest an app for me to try

Just about every app has menu options. Like the Kindle app, for example, has the options to sync, sort, and access archived items available via the menu button. Right now I'm mostly interested in installing ACV (Android Comic Viewer) on there and you have to access the menu options to open a file.

I saw a video on YouTube and one of the programs he/she opened was Pocket Legends!!! Looks like it runs just fine (and this was actually one of the first programs that came to mind when I thought about rooting...so this makes me happy).
